Finding that special First Communion gift
Tips for giving a Holy Communion gift that will be treasured for years to come
When you opened your invitation to a First Holy Communion ceremony, the first thing that crossed your mind was probably, “What am I going to give for a gift?”
Gift-giving can be a tricky situation. You want to give something that recognizes the religious significance of this special day, expresses your joy and is personalized to the first communicant’s tastes. It has to be meaningful and high quality because First Communion gifts are keepsakes that will be always be fondly remembered and appreciated.
If you aren’t that religious, buying a First Communion gift can be downright intimidating and stressful. You may struggle with what is an appropriate gift to mark the occasion or wonder if the gift has to include a religious symbol or not. Should it be personalized? Am I limited to a Bible, rosary or crucifix? How can I make my gift different and unique?
The good news is that there are a number of excellent choices to consider. While rosaries and crucifixes are traditional gifts, over the years selections have expanded to include prayer books, candles and jewelry such as charm bracelets.
Whatever you choose, it shouldn’t be plain and ordinary. A First Holy Communion is one of the first and most important steps a person will make in their journey of faith. As they partake of the Lord’s Supper for the first time, the moment will be engrained in their memory and it will touch their hearts in a spiritual way like nothing else can.
First Holy Communion gifts are also different because they are often preserved for years to come. A special First Communion Bible, for instance, may be well worn from daily use, but it will never be replaced. Jewelry will be worn, but it also will be well taken care of.
If you’re concerned about the first communicant receiving too many Bibles or rosaries, you can’t go wrong with a photo album or picture frame. These gifts will always be useful and they make wonderful keepsakes. Many feature high quality silver and some, like those found online at One Stop First Communion Shop or in person at Ceremonial Celebrations in South Ascot, Berkshire are engraved with religious symbols like a cross, chalice or angel. They are available with sayings like “Bless This Child” or “My First Communion.”
A photo album in white satin and embossed with a cross is also a lovely gift. These can hold several photos and be a special memento of the occasion.
Other excellent gift choices for both boys and girls include a First Holy Communion teddy bear, First Communion chocolate coins, pewter keepsake gifts and First Communion pens.
